The Dodge Razor is a concept car created by American car manufacturer Dodge and introduced at the 2002 North American International Auto Show. The Razor was a partnership between Dodge and scooter manufacturer Razor, who were responsible for part of its design.

Design and features

[edit]
Rear end

The Razor's exterior design was done by Kevin Verduyn and Akino Tsuchiya,[1] and was based on 1960s European sports cars with a modern minimalist style along with an "Orange Slice" paint job. It was designed for driving enjoyment, lacking a radio, power windows or power brakes. The interior features a lightweight competition seats with a four-point racing harness. Two orange Razor scooters were packed inside, supposedly instead of a spare tire. It was also equipped with essential tools.

Specifications

[edit]

The Razor is powered by a 2.4 L Chrysler PowerTech turbocharged I4 engine with an intercooler producing 250 hp (186 kW) and 230 lb⋅ft (310 N⋅m) of torque. The Razor was rear-wheel drive and used a six-speed manual transmission. Dodge claimed its top speed was over 140 mph (225 km/h) and that it could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than six seconds.[2]

Production attempt

Dodge said they were targeting a base price of around US$14,500 for the production Razor, but the concept never ended up reaching production.[3]
